Specialized Associate in Arts Transfer (S.A.A.T.) Degree

The Specialized Associate in Arts Transfer (S.A.A.T.) degree is designed for students who may need to complete more than 60 credits to prepare for transfer to a bachelor's program. Students awarded the degree are guaranteed admission to the identified bachelor's program.

The degree includes General Education requirements, Common Program Prerequisites (CPPs), and additional coursework needed for entry into an identified bachelor's program. The total credit hours required for the S.A.A.T. degree vary by program, unlike the associate in arts (A.A.) degree, which requires no more than 60 credit hours. The total program credit hours may exceed 60, requiring more than two years to complete if prerequisite coursework is required.
